Pricing Protection
We've all been there: you pick up the latest gadget only to see it advertised by that same retailer one week later at a 25% discount. Well, with PowerMax you don't have to worry about feeling duped.
If you see a reduced price on an item you've purchased within the last 10 days just let us know and refund or credit the difference back to you.
